Fab Friday - A Few of My Favs for 2012

I don’t know about you guys but I am still in a whirlwind
since the holidays.Last week was the
trip to DC for my friends’ birthday,I
have been working on a collab for a pop up restaurant for this month and many
random things have been happening that throw a wrench in my plans {last night
as I was baking to find my oven was no longer hearting properly.Reminded me of an episode of Bethany Ever
After.}.With all of this I haven’t been
able to really enjoy some of my new Christmas gifts or even watch all of my
shows which have finally returned to TV.Usually the only time I get to sit and let my thoughts process clearly
is when I am working on a post, but lately that hasn’t even happened because I
work on my post during down time at work {downtime = time I am waiting for a
file to print}.So I wanted to share
with you what I do think of my gifts even though I haven’t used them as much as
I like and the things that have me excited for January.

Beauty

I got a Clarisonic
brush for Christmas.At first I
didn’t see what they hype was all about, because for $195 buck-a-roos I expect to be
wowed away after the first use.I
wasn’t.But I used it for the second
time last night and began to see a difference.The dry areas on my face from the cold weather seemed to diminish.Will keep using it and see what results I get
because everyone swears by this brush.

Burberry
Body was on my list for Christmas and I got it {yay!!!}.I LOVE this scent for winter.When the weather gets chilly I love warmer scents
than I would in the summer.This
fragrance has just enough rose scent that it isn’t overpowering while having a
sweet undertone from the vanilla.Next
time you are passing through the fragrance department don’t hesitate to try it
out and let me know what you think!!

Jewelry

Unfortunately, this
year someone broke into my apartment and all of my jewelry was stolen {very sad
times as some items had sentimental value like a necklace my grandmother’s
friend gave me before she passed away} so I have been slowly rebuilding my collection.This year Tiffany
& Co. created pieces from their archive and designed the Filigree Heart
collection.I love how this piece is
classic but can still be stylish for ages to come {obviously as it was taken
from the archive}.

Television

So finally after months of waiting Grey’s Anatomy is back!!!
Along with Private Practice and Vampire Diaries.

Grey’s – What a way to come back!!Everyone dies again {if you remember when the
gunman shot up half of the new cast}.I
am starting to feel like they are running out of story line and feel the only
way to spice things up is to make it overly dramatic.The show is losing its touch in a sense.When I watched Grey’s it was because in one
episode my emotions would run a gambit – Love {Derek and Meredith}, Passion {Christina
about surgery}, Compassion {those moments when you would see a glimpse in Alex},
Strong-Willed {Miranda and the Chief} and Spiciness {Callie}.I hope the show finds its way real soon
because unfortunately there are so many depressing stories in the world {and I
am easily affected} that I don’t want to watch a show for an hour to see the
same thing I see on the news. I am still
holding out on hope.Though Zola is
adding for a few smiles here and there.She is an adorable little girl!!

Private Practice – All I have to say is that the episode before
the season break, when Amelia lost the
man she thought she loved while high on drugs got me.So many questions – Did she really love him
or was it the drugs?Is the watch bad
luck since first her Dad was killed for it and then this guy dies wearing
it….Forget rehab how much counseling
will she need after she realized she slept next to a dead man!!??Then Addison with that baby – I thought she
really was going to get her!

Vampire Diaries – Good or bad those brothers are both hot - point blank.Though this whole Stefan
gone bad thing has made for some really good episodes.Damon kissing Elena and her not fighting
back!!?Can she actually fall in love
with 2 brothers?Obviously Katherine {I
love when Klaus calls her Katerina} did and she is a doppelganger so
can she follow in her ancestors footsteps???

So many shows and so little time.Before you know it they will be off again for
the season and I will be left with empty Thursday nights!!!

I definitely share your love of Vampire Diaries! It's my guilty pleasure, and I can't wait for the show to come back (or has it already? I've been traveling so much, I haven't been able to keep up! =P)
